DC Smoothing Reactor

DC Smoothing reactors are used in rectifiers to:

Prevent intermittent operation up to a defined minimum current level.

DC reactors are used to prevent intermittent operation, if the mean DC current becomes smaller than the peak value of the harmonic current.

Reduce ripple to a defined value.

The DC reactor used to reduce the ripple in an inductor which is pre-magnetized through direct current.
